Paris Day 3
Last night I went on the pub crawl with some people from our hostel. There ended up being 90 people that went on this, which was a lot. We basically went to 4 bars and then a nightclub. It was pretty fun. Kirk and I went with one of Kirk's roommates whose name is Peter. It was enjoyable, but it was really crowded every place we went to, and it was pretty hot most everywhere. Other than that, I had a good time hanging out with people and making some new friends. Today I woke up late and did some laundry. The dryer actually dried my clothes this time, so that was nice. I then went to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, but it was really crowded there and there were a lot of people selling things outside and begging for money, so I didn't actually get to go inside. Then I read a book along the Seine River and walked along the Champs Elysees. It was a long day of walking, but it was fun. There are a lot of shops that are overpriced on that street. Also, I bought my train ticket to go to Switzerland on Tuesday. It was really easy to do, and for some reason I thought it was going to be harder than it turned out to be. Megan and I have set up our meeting for tomorrow, so that will be fun. I also made plans to see Dave Smith, who is a friend from high school. He got married to a German girl, and they are living in Germany right now, so Andrew and I are going to visit them. It should be a good time. Hope things are good at home!

Steven, Things are good here at home. We've been talking about you and your blog posts (thanks for doing this - it's helping us to enjoy "being on" your trip with you! Andrew is getting pretty excited about the prospect of joining you soon.
Visiting the Cathedrals is very cool - sorry you didn't get inside Notre Dame - maybe another time?
Reading along the Seine River - how delightful. Sounds like you're getting some good relaxation in. :-)
Did you see the BMW store on the Champs Elysees? Really cool, even for me (stereotypical girl in this small little way). I love the Arc, too! Did you go up on top? I was in a bus accident in that circle. Horrible. It's understandable, though, if you notice that there are NO LANES and apparently only the loose traffic law of "he who is most aggressive wins." Sometimes this results in bus accidents.
Ha ha, I didn't see the BMW shop there. That would have been interesting. I did see this really cool clock though. It poured liquid into these tubes every second and that's how it kept time... it was really cool. I actually didn't go to the top of the arc, but it was still really cool. I was scared of that circle around it too. I'm glad I didn't try to cross it.
